Hello

I'm a software developer from Germany and the maintainer of MacPass, a KeePass compatible password manager for macOS. My focus is developing software for the Apple ecosystem.

I strongly believe in free and open software and thus will never offer subscriptions or charge any amount of money for the applications, tools and services I'm publishing. Furthermore I strongly resent using advertisements or data mining as a source of income.

The time spent for developing and maintaining the software is the free time I can spare besides living a family life and running a company.

By sponsoring you can help reduce some of the running costs of maintaining my open source projects.

Currently those are:

  • fees for domain names
  • my annual Apple developer account subscriptions
  • software licenses on tools used to create all of this

Additionally you will put a big smile on my face for each and every contribution!

My main focus is on the following open source projects:

MacPass

MacPass is a port of the KeePass password manager for macOS that offers all the bells and whistles a native macOS application should have. I am still thrilled at how well the project is received by the community.

macpassapp.org
github.com/MacPass/MacPass

MacPass Plugins

MacPass supports a plugin system and I try to offer some myself.

MacPassCSV: Import and export CSV files
MacPassHTTP: Plugin to allow browser plugins to query the database
AutotypeURL: Retrieve URLs from browsers to make Autotype matches better

KeePassKit

A framework to read, write and manipulate KeePass databases. It runs on all Apple platforms and is used by MacPass.

🌻 Thank you very much for even considering to support my work!
